I hear it all the time: âI donât put heat on my hair.â And while that can sound like a badge of honor, letâs be real â avoiding heat doesnât automatically mean youâre taking care of your crown.
Heat can be damaging when misused, yes. But the bigger issue I see in the salon is this: many women who brag about âno heatâ arenât actually caring for their hair in other ways.
đż No Heat + No Wash = Neglect
What good is it to avoid flat irons if youâre not even shampooing your hair?
- A clean scalp is the foundation of healthy growth.
- Build-up from sweat, oils, and products suffocates your follicles.
- Dry, brittle hair will break â whether you use heat or not.
So, sis, not using heat isnât a flex if youâre skipping the basics. Washing, conditioning, and trimming are what truly keep your crown thriving.
đĄ Imagine This for a Minute
What else on your body could you neglect and still expect it to perform?
- If you never brushed your teeth, would you brag about it?
- If you never cleaned your skin, would you call that âcareâ?
- If you never fueled your body with water or food, would you expect it to thrive?
Your hair is no different. It needs regular attention to stay healthy.
đ What True Care Looks Like
- Wash: Shampoo weekly or bi-weekly with a cleanser that removes buildup (Synergiâs Replenish Shampoo is perfect).
- Condition: Hydrate and soften strands with Replenish Conditioner.
- Protect: Use Reset Leave-In and Nourish Oil to seal in moisture.
- Trim: Remove split ends to keep new growth strong.
Thatâs the real flex â consistency, not neglect.
âš Closing Thought
Avoiding heat alone wonât give you healthy hair. True hair health comes from care â regular shampooing, trimming, and nourishing your crown.
Sis, donât settle for âno heatâ as your only routine. Because neglect is not protection, and care is the real reset.
